Growing up in WV, hunting season meant squirrel hunting. Dad hunted with an 16 gauge single shot that most likely had a full choke barrel. It could really drop them from the top of shellbark hickorys or beech trees.
Mom insisted on soaking the cut up pieces overnight in salt water. The next day, she would rinse and par-boil them or a short time. Then, the pieces were removed, coated with flour, salt, and pepper (the only spices known in WV), and slowly fried in Crisco. This meal would have cornbread and a pot of navy beans to fill any empty spaces. Simple, but incredibly delicious!
My new tree rat whacker, a 36. cal. flintlock, is nearing completion. I'll have my techno-savvy son take some photos when it is finished.

Loggy, just to give you some indication on how "quickly" I'm dealing with completing the .36. One of the builder books I'm using for reference states, "inletting the rear ramrod pipe is probably the most difficult task in building a rifle because two levels are being worked simultaneously." In my rifle-building bank of knowledge, I sluffed this off with, "How difficult can it be?"
Well, four and a half hours later this little insignificant piece of brass finally settled into place! This is why I became a teacher and not a cabinet maker!

Cut up your rabbits, legs, and two back sections. Par boil them in water with salt, a stalk of celery, a carrot and some peppercorns. When the rabbit is tender, tak it out and dry it. Dredge it in salt peper and flour and put it in a skillet with bacon grease and fry till golden brown. Crisp on the outside and moist inside. I think I am drooling! ;D

Used to take them and pan fry and then toss them around in your favorite wing sauce. Crack a cold one and enjoy. I don't hunt them critters much anymore though. I'm sure will start again soon , got a boy who wants to get after'em.
